Starmer's vision quest

He’s right. It’s not appropriate that sort of shite gets to play big gigs. Then again that’s probably appropriate for Glastonbury these days

Sounds like there may be a rational argument behind your statement - please expand.

Something along the lines of 'all artists have to be acceptable to the government of the day'?

Got a suspicion it might be the profoundly considered position that music I don't like/understand & that says things I'm not sure about should not be allowed to be successful or have a massive audience. Probably with some added that's not proper music! It was ever thus.

Me - I'm a disgracefully ageing prog/metalhead muso and I think Kneecap are fücking splendid, and doing exactly what protest/countercultural bands are supposed to do.

Pretty much but more joke. I just think they’re full of themselves (but then I think the same of most prog rock, especially ELO). Didn’t think I’d need to resort to emojis to make it obvious

Doesn't matter if it winds up the libs and gets a reaction.

It's a legit survey, but unsurprisingly Farage has warped it to sound like a bizarre list of demands rather than responses from people who's first language likely isn't English.

The whole "immigrants vs homeless/veterans housing" thing is total horsesh!t. They are different provisions governed by different budgets.

It's like saying "Why are there so many potholes when the council can invest in cycle paths?"

There is only one pocket it's coming out of and it the British publics hard earned

I would agree, they are totally different problems with different causes.

I would be interesting to know if there actually is a National shortage of housing ie does number of homeless exceed number of unoccupied properties? There is, of course, a bit more to it than that, like, for example, are the unoccupied properties in the "correct" place.

The major problem is a lack of social housing.
